Solo & Small Firm Section CLE Trip to Hawaii

For the section’s annual “out-of-country” CLE trip, this year we are staying in the U.S. and visiting the big island of Hawaii and Oahu. Instead of going through a travel agent, you will make your own reservations directly with the hotels, airlines, and group tours (excursion and airport transfer details will be provided as they become available).

This page contains the trip schedule, activities, and hotel reservation links. When making your flight arrangements, don’t forget to include the flight from Hawaii to Oahu on June 1. Flight destinations are Kona International Airport and Honolulu International Airport. We hope you will join us this year!

MAY 2 7 – J U N E 1
Fly into the beautiful (Big) Island of Hawaii, the youngest and largest island in the Hawaiian chain. The group tour will be Volcanoes National Park and sightseeing on the Island Circle Tour. The CLE seminar will take place at the hotel on May 31 leaving ample time for participants to explore or relax at their leisure.

J U N E 1 – J U N E 4
An inter-island flight will take you to the third-largest Hawaiian island of Oahu, home to the majority of Hawaii’s diverse population. The group will tour Pearl Harbor and attend a Luau, allowing time to visit other sights on your own.

Hawaii CLE Trip

The Fine Print

The group tours and airport transportation fees will be paid separately to Worldstar DMC. Information will be sent to section members to register and make online payments directly to Worldstar. NOTE: When using Worldstar for airport transfers, the fees will depend on how many people are using the same transfer. With the varied departures and arrival patterns, the better option may be to make your own arrangements for airport transfers. One exception would be the day that everyone departs Hawaii for Oahu.
